So Richdon will have the little tossers this week. Martin has the tank set up ready, any dates for collection yet. Just have to find a couple more to keep it company whilst it grows, I think another trip to Richdon maybe on the cards when there latest stock comes out of quarentine.

Re: Pond Temps & Are your covers off?
